Chapter 6
As Mia looked to the Guys who were now down to their sub-armors she noticed
that they had been at alert stations until they had a chance to feel them.
As their Kanji lit on their foreheads in response to the powers out side of
the door they were still a little tense but they nodded that it was ok. As
Mia opened the door she spoke for a few moments and then let the new guests
into the main room.
Aideen took one look at the subarmored individuals and as her eyes got wide
she backed up. The four new comers to the group looked at Aideen and then
to their counterparts in question as to what was going on.
Aideen saw four people and then she saw one female and three animals. As
she backed into White Blaze she whispered to herself, but everyone heard her
and gaped in astonishment. "Spider, Snake, Wild Dog, The-the legends."
Dais' one eye opened wide at the identification of himself before he even
had a chance to introduce himself to this new person and then realized that
she had the second sight and did not realize it. He smiled reassuringly to
her and then completely armored down to his clothes and gestured for the
others to do the same. "You needn't fear us, miss. We are not what we once
were."
Dais walked up to her and bowed slightly and took her hand so that she could
get a better feel of who he was as he introduced himself. "I am Dais of the
Spider, Also known as the Warlord of Illusion, and Warrior of Serenity.
My compatriots are Cale The Black Jackal, Warlord of Corruption, and Warrior
of Obedience.
Sekmet son of the Snake Gods, Warlord of Venom, and Warrior of Piety
And the bearer of the Armor of Cruelty, is Kayura, Last of the Clan of the
Ancients
As Dais made the introductions for the new group Aideen noticed that the
Ronins were starting to relax and it was at this time that she realized that
the two groups had not had the time to reconcile their differences since
their final battles with Talpa.
As she actually took her shields down during the introductions she felt his
curiosity about her and she knew that she was a little bit curious about
these warriors that had at one point been out to destroy her hosts.
As she got a good feel for all of the ones in the new party that had arrived
she felt a deep and abiding sense of loss and looked quizzically at Kayura.
"Who is it that you all miss so much? You especially for something he did
for all of you."
Dais was again surprised at how sharp her perceptions and could only smile
as he again realized that he was going to have to get used to this one. He
could feel her raw potential and wondered if the Ronins would let him
undertake some of the training of that potential so that she would not have
so many problems with the second sight that seemed to trouble her.
Another Memory circle was made but this time some of the emotions did not
make sense as she watched Anubis give his life and his armor to drive out
Badamon from Kayura. Once she understood though she nodded and opened her
eyes and saw that of the group only Blaze did not seem saddened about the
loss. Understanding that he knew something that the rest did not she kept
silent and let him have his knowledge.
As she got to know the warlords and Kayura she became more at ease with them
and when she realized that she was picking up some of the definitions about
certain things from Dais and Sage she walled herself off and continued the
conversation. What had brought the Warlords to this realm was the fact that
the ronin's had armored up and because of the pact between the Seasonal
armors, as they preferred to be called now, and the Ronins they came incase
there was danger.
Before the Seasonal's left for their realm again they surrounded Aideen and
swore out that if she would be in any danger that she could not handle as
the Wildling, they would come to her aid.
"But how will I be able to call on you? You can not be watching me all the
time and I know that I do not have the Telepathic range to reach between
realms to you all in the Dynasty." She was confused at their total
acceptance of who she was until she realized that that these Seasonal
Warriors were all right around the 400 year old mark and had seen more in
the way of magic and strange things than she would probably be able to
understand.
Aideen turned and looked to Mia who was smiling, grateful that this student
would at least have a protector when her friends could not be there. Kayura
looked at the ronins and Mia. "If it is alright with you all we would like
to take Miss Aideen to the Dynasty. She will be alright but we want to be
able to give her a tracer like we did with you Mia."
Aideen's eyes got huge when she heard where they wanted to take her and
spoke up. "Um, if it is ok with you all, I am not quite comfortable with
all of this yet so could you bring White Blaze, if it is ok with Ryo??"
Ryo nodded that it was ok with him and Blaze stepped over to Aideen's side
when Cye spoke up. "I hate to sound like the bad egg here but Aideen, why
do you want White Blaze to go with you and not one of us?"
"I am sorry Cye, But should I turn Wildling in the Dynasty, Blaze here will
be the only one who will understand me and he will be the only one that I
will be able to understand now that I have had some time to get to know him
now." Cye and the others nodded in their understanding and let them go.
She turned to the Seasonals and nodded. I am ready except for one thing.
She paused behind them as they stepped forward and concentrated. Her Dirk
appeared in her hand and as she attached it to her belt she noticed that the
Seasonals had seen what had happened but did not mind. As she stepped into
their circle with Blaze she shut down her mind as she felt the teleportation
take hold of her and the world went dark.
